Olivamine Ingredients: Vitamins

B₆ (pyridoxine) and B₃ (niacinamide)

Olivmaine is a combination of small molecules that are involved in cellular processes and necessary for the maintenance of healthy skin. Olivamine¹⁰ contains two B vitamins added for their special physiological effects. The term vitamin B₆ is used to describe all biologically inter-convertible forms of pyridoxine. Vitamin B₆ is an essential co-factor in numerous enzymatic reactions involved primarily in amino acid metabolism.¹ In addition; vitamin B₆ functions as an antioxidant by interacting with singlet molecular oxygen during oxidative stress.

Niacinamide (vitamin B₃) is a precursor of the coenzyme nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) used to generate ATP in the mitochondrial electron transport chain. Niacinamide is involved in DNA integrity and maintains phosphatidylserine membrane asymmetry to prevent cellular inflammation and phagocytosis. Current research demonstrates that niacinamide prevents the induction of caspase-8, caspase-1, and caspase-2 activities during cellular injury.² The cytoprotectant effects of niacinamide are involved in the maintenance and preservation of cellular membranes.
